Inhibitors of Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase Meet Immunity

Abstract: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors are widely used for the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. More recent use is for myasthenia gravis. Many of these inhibitors interact with the second known cholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Further, evidence shows that acetylcholine plays a role in suppression of cytokine release through a “cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway” which raises questions about the role of these inhibitors in the immune system. This review covers re… Show more

“…NF-κB − універсальний фактор тран-скрипції, що контролює експресію генів імунної відпо-віді, апоптоза й клітинного циклу. NF-κB відіграє важ-ливу роль у природній й адаптативній імунній відповіді, оскільки забезпечує післятранскрипційну супресію вироблення прозапальних цитокинів (TNF, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18) і бере участь у передачі внутрішньоклітинних сигналів від CD40, toll-подібних рецепторів й B-клітинного рецептора [37, 43,44].…”

“…The two main types of "pesticide-nonspecific" enzymes (e.g., cholinesterase [ChE]) are acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) (Pohanka, 2014). AChE hydrolyzes acetylcholine (ACh) to choline and acetic acid to reduce its neurotoxicity, as ACh is a neurotransmitter that is related to sensory perceptions in the central nervous system and the respiration of muscles in the peripheral nervous system (Nikolelis et al, 2005).…”
